Deployment Options
AutoROICalc is primarily available as a cloud-hosted SaaS platform. This is the recommended option for most teams because it requires no infrastructure setup and gives you the fastest path to collecting records, building reports, and using dashboards.
Interested in Self-hosted?
Self-hosted deployment is also possible for organizations that need more control over infrastructure, data processing, internal integrations, or security policies. At this stage, self-hosted setup is handled individually rather than through a public step-by-step installation guide.
Recommended: Cloud Platform
Use the cloud platform if you want to:
- Create an account and start quickly
- Avoid server setup and maintenance
- Use AutoROICalc without managing updates
- Focus on records, reports, dashboards, and integrations
- Receive platform improvements automatically
Optional: Self-Hosted Deployment
Self-hosted deployment can be considered when your organization needs:
- Full infrastructure control
- Internal data processing
- Custom integrations with private systems
- Strict security or compliance policies
- Deployment inside a private cloud, virtual machine, dedicated server, or on-premise environment
Self-hosted deployments are planned and configured case by case. The exact setup depends on your infrastructure, security requirements, integration needs, and support agreement.
Which Option Should You Choose?
| Option | Best for | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Cloud / SaaS | Most users and teams | Fastest setup, no infrastructure maintenance |
| Self-hosted | Advanced teams with infrastructure requirements | Requires planning and direct coordination |
Current Recommendation
Start with the cloud platform unless you already know you need self-hosted deployment.
You can still evaluate the product, create records, build reports, and test dashboards in the SaaS version first. If self-hosted deployment becomes necessary later, contact AutoROICalc to discuss migration and deployment requirements.
